It was close to 7 pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! James and I were seated discussing the recent football results, waiting around for the sixth job to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Backwell and filled petrol in a diesel Jaguar hire car in error. She was somewhat troubled apparently, stating "I can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from our van, we could arrive at the woman right away. The bad fuel was removed and she could return to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off relaxed and much less concerned. A job in Somerset done well in my books!

Services Our Company Offers:

Below are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Somerset we have noticed increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of people not knowing how to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the car.

Now, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at once. And absolutely do not switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. In case you did start the car you will likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel can result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations quite easily.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank placed at the back of your premises containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Somerset to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Backwell (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to deal with the standard troubles which might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Backwell - Backwell Fuel Drain

A customer contacted us from his place on a close in Backwell. He explained, "My car (a Land Rover) is not running and is generating very bad sounds when I turn the key." He confessed that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would fix the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, performed the drain and filled him up once again with fresh Diesel. He told us he'd be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it drained immediately.
